[TR] Concours Question - Lucas PL700 or P700 Headlamps for TR3A's

[Andrew Mace]

I generally consider the PL-700 to be more suitable as an option for
later TR4/4A, etc., where the P-700 (the one with the little round
shield in the center) would be "correct" as optional fitment for TR2
through early TR4. It is the P-700 that is pictured in any number of
factory photos of "home market" cars at least up through the
introduction of the TR4.

I recently purchased a 1960 TR3A.  I was thinking about changing the
headlamps
to Lucas PL700 or P700's.  As I want to keep the car pretty original, I
am
wondering if and how Lucas PL700 or P700 headlamps are considered in
concours
judging within VTR or TRA rules?
